This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.

Important notes on articles:

• Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
• Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
• If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

Worst was 1964. Best was 1973 as a Senior by RJD

Helping my Dad in the garage, we listened to the game on a tube radio fully expecting Ara to complete an undefeated first season against a mediocre wanker USC team.

At 17-0, I left the garage to play football with my older brother's friends at the Pine Avenue Grammar School Field. When we came home late for dinner, we were shocked at the result.

The best (1988 was a distant second) was 1973 game that featured the run by Penick assisted by great blocks by duo of St. Francis Prep guards plus Art Best. We had not beaten Coach McKay since the 1966 wipe out. Props also to Luther Bradley on Swann.

From our seats as seniors, the crowd looked like a wave as Eric quickly covered the 85 yards advancing toward the freshmen seats in the corner of the end zone.

A few weeks later, Tommy "Ding" Mendoza brought Art over to our house on St. Peter's along with John Gambone and Al Hunter where sometimes the party never ended. Keep on Trucking" was the mural painted on our wall by roommate Jim Lussier (Navy Aviator > Mateer Harbert).

I did not know Penick until he picked me up at the circle hitch-hiking second semester...Rick
